Thiếu Nữ Bên Hoa Sen 01

Phụ Nữ Việt Nam 01 - "Vietnamese Woman 01" - depicts a young woman in a richly patterned blue áo dài, eyes closed, holding a white lotus bud gently to her cheek. A conical hat rests behind her head, tied with a soft lilac ribbon. She is surrounded by white lotus flowers and dark curving stems against a luminous yellow-green background, the whole composition suffused with a sense of stillness and quiet grace.

The style is illustrative and decorative, with clean outlines and flat, carefully considered areas of colour - closer to the tradition of Vietnamese lacquer painting and graphic art than to Western realism. The blue of the áo dài is particularly striking, painted with a dappled, textile-like texture that gives it depth and movement. The white lotus flowers are handled with a smooth simplicity that contrasts beautifully with the more detailed fabric of the dress.

At 60 × 90 cm it is a significant vertical work with real presence. The title suggests this is part of a series, which may appeal to collectors interested in acquiring multiple works. It suits a prominent wall position - a hallway, living room, or bedroom - and works well against white, sage, or warm neutral walls. The blue, lilac, and green palette pairs naturally with linen, rattan, and light timber. A graceful and culturally resonant work that would appeal to collectors drawn to Vietnamese femininity and tradition rendered in a contemporary hand.

This original painting is shipped as a rolled canvas - unframed and unstretched. Rolling is the safest and most practical way to transport original artwork internationally, ensuring the painting arrives in perfect condition.

Upon receiving your painting, you will need to take it to a local framer or canvas stretching service, who will mount it onto a wooden stretcher frame. Once stretched, the painting can be hung as is or placed into a frame of your choice. This is a routine service offered by most framers.

Please note that stretching and framing costs are not included in the purchase price. We recommend budgeting an additional amount for this step - costs vary by canvas size and location. If you have any questions about the process or would like advice on finding a framer, please get in touch before purchasing.
